[Brad Paisley - Only Way She'll Stay lyrics]
I sat there and listened to
The reasons I was given
As to why her bags were sittin' by the door
In great detail she told me how
She could no longer live here
And it just wasn't working anymore
She had finally finished and
Her anger had diminished
Well, I took her hand and
Looked her in the eye and in my desperation
I guess somehow I explained
Why it would be a shame
To leave all this behind
And I talked her outta leavin' me
'Cause right here's where she needs to be
And I guess I should feel a need
But somehow I don't through negotiations
She held to one stipulation
If I really want to keep her here at home
Then the only way she'll stay is if I don't
Well, she picked up her bags
And as she walked back to the bedroom
I just scratched my head and
Sat there for a while
She's actin' like she's doin' me a favor
But, I don't see how she thinks
That this could be a compromise
And I'm lookin' for the bright
Side of this bittersweet conclusion
As it's my turn now to pack up all my things
And I guess that I accomplished all
That I set out to do
'Cause now I don't have to
Watch her walk away
Yeah, I talked her outta leavin' me
'Cause right here's where she needs to be
And I guess I should feel
Relieved but somehow I don't
Through negotiations
She held to one stipulation
If I really want to keep her here at home
Then the only way she'll stay is if I don't
Yeah, I talked her outta leavin' me
'Cause right here's where she needs to be
Through negotiations
She held to one stipulation
The only way she'll stay is if I don't
Yeah, I talked her outta leavin' me
Right here's where she needs to be
The reasons I was given
As to why her bags were sittin' by the door
In great detail she told me how
She could no longer live here
And it just wasn't working anymore
She had finally finished and
Her anger had diminished
Well, I took her hand and
Looked her in the eye and in my desperation
I guess somehow I explained
Why it would be a shame
To leave all this behind
And I talked her outta leavin' me
'Cause right here's where she needs to be
And I guess I should feel a need
But somehow I don't through negotiations
She held to one stipulation
If I really want to keep her here at home
Then the only way she'll stay is if I don't
Well, she picked up her bags
And as she walked back to the bedroom
